Can we please for the love of god stop telling teenagers they’re too young to have aches and pains. Can we please stop being dismissive about these things. Fakeclaiming is disgusting period, but it is exponentially harmful to youth. Just because you didn’t start hurting until your 20s or 30s or 40s doesn’t mean every teenager complaining of chronic pain must be lying. I learned the hard way that if kids are invalidated enough about this, they will just learn to accept constant pain as a fact of life. And then they will need surgery they can’t afford in ten years bc it turns out constant pain is NOT a fact of life. At any age.

sorry but it's just so insane to me that we all watched the same episode (7x04) where buck had no clue what he was feeling or what was going on inside his head; was constantly lying to himself and the people around him; was incapable of viewing the actions of the people around him objectively without feeling slighted; refused to use his words to the point where someone actually got hurt—and fandom is still like "um, yeah, buck is gonna be sooo enlightened and so aware of his feelings by the end of the season 😌 all of his self-growth is complete because he's dating a man now 😌 eddie is actually gonna be the one who's repressed and miserable and jealous because he's made the biggest blunder ever (dating a woman and making a few foolish choices which he instantly corrected)" i mean...i love buck, and i love how fucked up he is, but you guys Cannot Be Serious right now lmao
